I had a rat several years ago and he was one of the best pets I ever had.
They are extremely intelligent and can be as friendly and affectionate as any dog.
You do need to play with them and deal with the "EWWWW" factor from some people, but I would highly recommend a rat as a pet.
As a matter of fact, I would let my kids get a rat before a hamster or gerbil.
